Title: E-mail attachment

We do this.  We use CL to create a database file of the email, then use RPG to create the other file.  Our RPG does not read the IFS directly.

 

In our case, we can see the actual data when viewing the email, and we don't have equal signs.

 

I think the equal signs are because you are emailing as an attachment.  Try configuring your email software to send as inline text.

Does anyone have a routine for retrieving the attachment for an e-mail sent to the AS/400?  We have setup an e-mail address to receive a CSV file (as an attachment) to our AS/400 - the e-mail gets recieved into /qtcptmm/mail/csv_user/.  I'd like a program to be able to read thru the e-mail (the e-mail is a file and is usually named something like "JW072019.NOT") and copy the attachment and create an actual IFS file from it.  When I look at the .NOT file, I can see all the data in there but it looks like it's formatted a special way because each line only goes to 64 characters and then there is usually an equal sign and then it's wrapped to the next line.  So, I can't just read it straight in and then write it out.  Also, I haven't figured out how to know where to start and stop reading.

Just wondered if anyone had done anything like this yet?

Thanks,
Dave
